I use their firewall but have no reason to try their AV program.
Happy with what I have so why take a chance.  ???

minacross i've tested pc tools av some months ago and i didnt like it at all..i dont know how it passed vb100..its a very buggy av and it uses lot of ram..even if it has quite gd detection(which i dont think it has),its not very "gentle" with ur system..so avast sweet avast.. ;)
